What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Hose Water Timer has mixed reviews. While some users found it easy to set up and use, with convenient features like a rain delay, many reported issues with the timer's reliability and durability. Common problems included the timer failing to shut off the water flow, leading to continuous water usage, and the timer malfunctioning after a few months of use. However, a few customers had positive experiences with the timer working flawlessly for multiple seasons. Overall, the product's quality and longevity appear to be inconsistent.

Battery problem

This timer should be described as disposable. It only lasts one summer season. Even after proper storage over the winter (indoors, removed batteries) it does not work. Everything seems to work except the shut off valve, water turns on but will not shut off. Do not buy this timer

Worked Great for a Year, too Cheaply Made to Last
We used this for our garden for a summer. It worked as expected. Setup was easy. Over the winter, I removed it, removed the batteries, and stored it in the garage.

I will return it and go look somewhere else and see if I can find something that will work. I am very disappointed.

Pretty solid
Would RecommendThis timer is easy to use and setup with no fuss at all the only drawback to it and its minor is you can not use rechargeable batteries with it as no matter what they show low charge but other then that it is a pretty solid item
